graphics: ADD-WORKSTATION


name

The name of the workstation you wish to create.

This should be a character string of 20 characters or less.

[No default, this is a mandatory argument.]


type

States the type of workstation you wish to open. The list of known types varies with the graphics system you are using.

You've to specify either a type or a GKS identifier, but not both.

Additional information on:
   


identifier

The GKS identifier of the workstation you are defining. This number is found in the documentation of your GKS system.

You've to specify either a type or a GKS identifier, but not both.


connection

The connection identifier for workstations not associated with a file. The way the connection identifier is to be chosen should be described in the GKS documentation.

Workstations associated with a file are connected via a logical unit which is chosen by Garfield, and the connection identifier is in this case given by the logical unit number plus an offset.

[This parameter is optional and defaults to 1.]


offset

Specifies the offset between logical unit and connection identifier for workstations associated with a file.

This parameter should not be specified when you are adding a workstation that is not associated with a file.

This parameter is used by certain GKS systems to distinguish closely related workstation types. Details should be contained in the GKS documentation.

[If you describe the workstation by type, you do not have to specify the offset. Specifying the parameter is optional if you describe the workstation by GKS identifier. In the latter case it defaults to 0.]


file

The file to be associated with the workstation.

This file is opened at the time the OPEN-WORKSTATION command is issued and it is closed by CLOSE-WORKSTATION.

[This parameter is mandatory for workstations which are output-only.]
